Keri M. Zwerner, MA, LCPC
now offering comprehensive mental health services in Montana, working with adults, children, adolescents, and families in short and long-term psychotherapy and counseling
I received my master’s degree from Phillips Graduate Institute in Los Angeles, CA. After practicing in the LA area for 10 years, I relocated to Montana in 2014 to raise my children in Big Sky Country. Currently, in private practice in Bozeman, I work with adults, children, adolescents, and families, helping them manage many issues through their time of growth. Previous to this, I worked as a therapist in the LAUSD (Los Angeles, CA) school system, providing education, support, and advocacy for parents and students in SST, 504, and IEP meetings.
I help adults heal unresolved wounds from childhood, achieve greater self-awareness and self-esteem; improve relationships with partners, friends, and co-workers; increase their ability to make life-enhancing choices; and improve everyday life issues.
Specializing in trauma work
In addition, I work in the field of trauma and grief. A member of ISST-D, ISTSS, and AAETS (International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress), I have received additional training and attended many conferences in the areas of complex/developmental trauma and stress, in both children and adults.
Specializing in trauma and grief, I have received advanced training in EMDR, Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).
I’ve assisted children and teens with many concerns, such as coping with divorce, self-esteem issues, behavioral problems, ADHD, social skills, and other daily life issues unique to their age. I also facilitate groups for children and adolescents, as well as parenting groups and classes. I support parents as they work their way through the challenges of parenthood.
I have dedicated myself to assisting others through the difficult times in their lives.
